This action opened habitat to migratory fish for the first time in 100 years. The White Salmon Working Group was formed to create plans for fish salvage in preparation for fish recolonization and to prescribe the actions necessary to restore anadromous salmonid populations in the White Salmon River after Condit Dam removal. Studies conducted by work group members and others served to inform management decisions. Management options for individual species were considered, including natural recolonization, introduction of a neighboring stock, hatchery supplementation, and monitoring natural recolonization for some time period to assess the need for hatchery supplementation.

  • Salmon River B-Run Steelhead
    HATCHERY AND GENETIC MANAGEMENT PLAN Hatchery Program: Salmon River B-run Steelhead Species or Summer Steelhead-Oncorhynchus mykiss. Hatchery Stock: Salmon River B-run stock Agency/Operator: Idaho Department of Fish and Game Shoshone-Bannock Tribes Watershed and Region: Salmon River, Idaho. Date Submitted: Date Last Updated: October 2018 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The management goal for the Salmon River B-run summer steelhead hatchery program is to provide fishing opportunities in the Salmon River for larger B-run type steelhead that return predominantly as 2-ocean adults. The program contributes to the Lower Snake River Compensation Plan (LSRCP) mitigation for fish losses caused by the construction and operation of the four lower Snake River federal dams. Historically, the segregated Salmon River B-Run steelhead program has been sourced almost exclusively from broodstock collected at Dworshak National Fish Hatchery in the Clearwater River. Managers have implemented a phased transition to a locally adapted broodstock collected in the Salmon River. The first phase of this transition will involve releasing B-run juveniles (unclipped and coded wire tagged) at Pahsimeroi Fish Hatchery. Adult returns from these releases will be trapped at the Pahsimeroi facility and used as broodstock for the Salmon B-run program. The transition of this program to a locally adapted broodstock is in alignment with recommendations made by the HSRG in 2008. Managers have also initiated longer term efforts to transition the program to Yankee Fork where a satellite facility with adult holding and permanent weir is planned as part of the Crystal Springs Fish Hatchery Program. Until these facilities are constructed, broodstock collection efforts in the Yankee Fork are accomplished with temporary picket weirs in side-channel habitats adjacent to where smolts are released.

  • Fall in Love with the Falls: Salmon River Falls Unique Area by Salmon River Steward Luke Connor
    2008 Steward Series Fall in Love with the Falls: Salmon River Falls Unique Area By Salmon River Steward Luke Connor When visiting the Salmon River Falls Unique Area you may get to meet a Salmon River Steward. Salmon River Stewards serve as a friendly source of public information as they monitor “The Falls” and other public access sites along the Salmon River corridor. Stewards are knowledgeable of the area’s plants, wildlife, history, trails, and are excited to share that information with visitors. The Salmon River Falls Unique Area attracts tourists from both out of state and within New York. The Falls, located in Orwell, NY, is approximately 6 miles northeast of the Salmon River Fish Hatchery, and is on Falls Rd. Recent changes at The Falls have made them even more inviting. In 2003 the Falls Trail became compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The hard gravel trail allows people with various levels of physical abilities to use its flat surface. In 2008 the Riverbed Trail and the Gorge Trail each underwent enhancements by the Adirondack (ADK) Mountain Club, but are not ADA-compliant. The first recorded people to use the Salmon River Falls Unique Area were three Native American tribes of the Iroquois Nation: the Cayuga, Onondaga, and Oneida. Because the 110-ft-high waterfall served as the natural barrier to Atlantic Salmon migration, the Native American tribes, and likely European settlers, congregated at the Falls to harvest fish. In 1993 the Falls property was bought by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation with support from other organizations.

  • Survival and Growth Responses of Juvenile Salmonines Stocked in Eastern Lake Ontario Tributaries
    Transactions of the American Fisheries Society 136:56–71, 2007 [Article] Ó Copyright by the American Fisheries Society 2007 DOI: 10.1577/T06-127.1 Survival and Growth Responses of Juvenile Salmonines Stocked in Eastern Lake Ontario Tributaries 1 2 STEPHEN M. COGHLAN JR.,* MICHAEL J. CONNERTON, NEIL H. RINGLER,DONALD J. STEWART, 3 AND JERRY V. MEAD Faculty of Environmental and Forest Biology, State University of New York, College of Environmental Science and Forestry, 1 Forestry Drive, Syracuse, New York 13210, USA Abstract.—To evaluate the species-specific and stream-specific suitability of juvenile salmonine habitat in the southern Lake Ontario watershed, we studied the effects of multiple environmental gradients on the first- summer apparent survival and growth of various combinations of Atlantic salmon Salmo salar, rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss, and coho salmon O. kisutch stocked in tributaries. Costocking of either Oncorhynchus species had no detectable effect on the apparent survival or change in cohort biomass of Atlantic salmon, but their growth rates were reduced slightly when they were stocked with rainbow trout. Generally, Atlantic salmon outperformed their putative competitors. Summer temperatures were near the physiological optimum for Atlantic salmon but may have limited the success of rainbow trout and especially coho salmon. Total salmonine biomass was maximized at sites in which only Atlantic salmon were planted. Apparent survival and biomass elaboration of Atlantic salmon varied inversely with stream size, temperature, and the abundance of wild salmonines and piscivores, whereas growth rate responded positively to moderate increases in summer temperature, agricultural development, and nutrient enrichment. These regional and species-specific differences in stocked salmonine success may, in part, be explained by variations in temperature, geomorphology, and anthropogenic influences.
